Prove it! Practice 9 Prepositions of Time
Make learning A2 prepositions of time fun and interactive with this printable and online-friendly activity! Students use in, on, at, before, after, until, during, since, and for in real-life contexts while proving fun and creative statements. Whether playing individually or in teams, learners will boost their grammar skills while engaging in speaking and writing practice. Perfect for A2 learners and adaptable for A1 or B1 students!
Get ready for a whole new way to practice A2 prepositions of time with this printable and online-friendly activity. The point of the game is to get your students to use prepositions of time in a natural context. There are several Prove it! cards each presenting a different situation or circumstance your students will need to prove with written or spoken phrases. No, they do not need to tell the truth! The point is for them to produce English phrases in a fun context.
This particular activity covers 9 prepositions of time that are crucial for A2 and B1 students. However, you can make it possible for your A1 students to play by omitting certain prepositions. The prepositions in question are (A1) in, on and at; (A2) before, after and until; (A2/B1) during, since and for.
If you know anything about our PROVE IT! activities, then you can skip the instructions and get to playing. For those who are new, you can probably figure how to use this activity to practice A2 prepositions of time, but just in case…
- Students play individually or in teams. Display the game board and fill out the scoring sheet at the bottom with names.
- Choose one of the cards in the middle with a fact your students will have to prove.
- In turns, students must prove this fact while also using one of the time expressions around the edge.
- A logical and grammatically correct response earns a point.
- Each time an expression is used, check the box – it cannot be used again this round.
- Stay on the same card until all the boxes have been checked or your students cannot come up with any more sentences.
- Uncheck all the boxes and move onto the next card.
- Play as few or as many cards as you’d like or have time for.
- The student or team with the most points at the end wins.
